In the match between Sporting CP and FC Famalicão, the performance of the VAR team was rated as “unsatisfactory” by the Refereeing Council in the evaluation of the 22nd round of the Liga Portugal Betclic.
This assessment comes in the wake of the controversy caused by an incident at eight minutes, when Ibrahima Ba scored for Famalicão. The goal was eventually disallowed after VAR intervention, which called the referee to review an alleged offensive contact before the shot.
Thus, it gives the impression that Sporting benefited from the refereeing in that game, which they won 1-0 with a goal near the end. At the time of the subsequently disallowed goal, the score was 0-0.
